Reading some thrillers and finding a new all time favorite 👻 [reading vlog]

[@haileyhughes]

yessss a thriller reading vlog is exactly what i need rn 😍😍

[@sarahmorley1031]

Me too. It's all I'm reading atm

[@owlthereader7721]

So do I 😍

[@suzy8109]

As a Brit, I am so pleased that Gabby features so many British authors in her reading vlogs (it must be more than 50% of her reads).

[@darkacademiacafe8238]

This month I discovered I'm into thrillers and horror so right now I'm just bingeing all the videos on your channel and I got so excited seeing this pop up in my subscription box. My TBR is extremely worried about how long is going to get lmao

[@willlexie]

Looking forward for your thriller videos 🧡💛🖤

[@AlyssaReids]

I died laughing when you started talking about your moisturizer and water bottle. Adulting comes with small pleasures and I totally get it. Mine tonight is pasta and KZbin. Yay to adulthood.

[@piuchowdhury4855]

October has been a dull month for me as well. I only read in the first week of October. I read 'Home before dark' because of your recommendation. And I loved it. I loved it more than 'Lock every door'. Thanks for amazing recommendations. I trust you blindly 😌

[@noodles4life655]

I absolutely love how enthusiastic you are about everything ❤️

[@samrosequi]

Taking shots of m&ms is my new 2020 mood goal. Sorry October has been a rough one. I’m grateful for the content you are putting out! ❤️

[@kammypost730]

I love chaotic vlogs!

[@Terminate1101]

12:51 as u can see some Darcy Coates books, her book the Carrow haunt is amazing! Read it if you want!

[@mariamm9400]

Omg I still remember your may vlogs and you definitely not liking the summer weather but now it's so cold and almost November. My gawd, how has time literally flew by?

[@sarahyoung160]

Wonderland was the wooorst! Haha the kids name drove me crazy! I agree the audacity to compare it to King or Jackson.

[@AmandaBrown-ht1gl]

I love Gabby reading vlogs in the morning. Sets my reading day ❤📚📚

[@kitkatkc9]

Year later but got to say, that shade of lipstick you’re wearing at 12:30 is gorgeousss 😍 so good with your skin tone, hair, and eyes

[@patgazza]

Nothing in 2020 has gone to plan but your reading vlogs GIVE. ME. LIFE.

[@gabbyreads]

❤️❤️❤️

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

I understand what you mean as October has been really really stressful for me as i lost my mother in law and ended up in intensive care with my asthma please stay safe love you and your beautiful channel love 💖 John from Australia

[@missburn]

I'm sorry.

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

@@missburn thank you 🙏

[@gabbyreads]

I’m so sorry to hear that! Sending you hugs!! 😭😭❤️

[@Bambkuss]

I'm obsessed with books and your channel. Ure the only booktuber I watch because ure simply the best and honestly I cant watch any other booktubers because every time im like: I wish I was watching Gabby instead!

[@saraj182004]

I really enjoy your vlogs as I'm sure many others do so don't be too hard on yourself. I know you are in a bit of a slump but it's okay, we all go through those . I hope whatever is bothering you gets better and you feel inspired again because you know we'll be here for it. 🤗🥂

[@shivangiyadav3820]

IM SO HAPPY YOU SAY DYLAN'S MOVIE😭. I LOVE DYLAN O'BRIEN ❤️

[@kirasgirly]

That was my first wine! :) It's super easy to drink. I saw Cooke's book the other day I was in BaM and was debating on getting it. I'm going back to get it, sounds good.

[@mdee8225]

I laughed to hard when you said you silent WTF - I do that all the time!

[@nanasunite]

Me too! That was hilarious!

[@sugusify]

Hi Gabby Huge fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Love how u talk about books with so much passion Keep going 👍🏽

[@jenniferwright9636]

Oh, I have so gotta read The Nesting. Sounds so good.

[@courtgarris1396]

Omg........when you vented about Wonderland and Eleanor Queen I swear I yelled out, RIGHT!!!! My husband jumped, lol, but I swear I felt the SAME WAY! I was so disappointed in it. I enjoyed this vlog a lot!!!!😊

[@opheliasgrace]

The first minute and a half of this video is straight up my whole life.

[@M7890V]

I want to read Violet also, but I've decided to try out Kill Creek first. I know you like that one! Then I'll pick up Violet if I like Kill Creek. I'm currently reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's not scary or a thriller but it's more of an emotional drama- not my cup of tea but I'm enjoying it.

[@iqraciousliliput2378]

Guys like, comment and recommend this channel.. Honestly she deserves more subscribers.. Her book recommendations are legit awesome

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I was going to work on my book but then I saw you updated and I just had to watch this💙🖤💚

[@BohoBookworm]

I loooooved Our Kind of Cruelty. I'm sad it doesn't have better ratings! The Nesting sounds really good. YES I found Baby Teeth really repetitive too!! Now I want Starbursts.

[@suesasabbari3371]

You r just the best ...you arr like a minny me. I do all that stuff when its cold. From NH..love the books you blogged. Thanks for showing me new titles cant wait. I swear your like my best friend i never met...lol

[@krazykrissy128]

May not have been planned, but watching it felt legit so great job editing lol. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@nataliejohnson8117]

Omg I wanna read Violet now. I'm still stuck on Kill Creek.

[@kittyshiv]

too dead to read today so YAY get to listen to you again heh

[@kittyshiv]

completely off topic haha, but you're going to love the midnight library lol hope you're able to get into it in the near future

[@kaylaney1454]

Off month for me too, but with a Gabby seal of approval I'm totally going out to by The Nesting tomorrow to read for Halloween. Thanks Gabby!

[@ReadingWithJess]

Our Kind of Cruelty sounds so good. I need to check it out. Loved the vlog. Hoping the slump ends.

[@RowskiHeat]

BRB heading out to buy all of the books you recommended here!! After the last time you talked about thrillers I stayed up all night reading Playing Nice in one sitting 😭

[@cleg78]

I think October has been a duff month for a lot of people, I have had a super slump this month and it has been awful ☹️

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

Your excitement😍 for these books makes me want to pick up a copy🎉🎉

[@popsiclepunk2112]

I CLICKED SO FAST! loved this reading vlog! Super excited for more!! I’m definitely going to pick up The Nesting!

[@ewokallie]

I love your hoodies!!!

[@bridgetuphoff2129]

I just finished the audiobook of Our Kind of Cruelty. I really liked it. I have DNF'd so many books recently and this book took me past the slump.

[@CreativeJewelsAdventures]

I loved this video!! I can’t wait to see what other videos you do!! Can’t wait!!

[@hannahburnsblue94]

“It’s about this family that’s out in the fuckin woods in there house and there’s like weird things happening with the trees and stuff I don’t really know” 😂😂 I died lol

[@katiekennedy8461]

i love the creepy caffeine mug!! haha

[@tevens13]

Your videos give me LIFE!!! 🤩 Also, what is the song you and Rachel are listening to in the car towards the end?

[@brady_hawkins23]

I'm reading the shining im trying to finish it by sometime in November (I'm a slow reader)

[@lisaglaum8912]

I love the water bottle!!! 😂😍

[@courtneypayer5482]

I love watching your videos!!! Thanks for everything you do!!

[@Jodecisweet]

Omg so weird , I literally bought that water bottle in pink on Monday !!!!

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

All your reading vlogs are amazing❤️

[@malintries]

Always love checking what you recommend! It's good for some inspiration 😁

[@StormReads]

We have completely different reading taste lol, but still like watching you! 😀 I hated both The Nesting and Our Kind of Cruelty! 🤪

[@CozyGamer92]

Anything works when it comes to these vlogs girlie ❤ Also, just started watching Haunting of hill house and I'm already on episode 10 and feel like I need to curse myself out for watching it so fast 😭😭😭😭😭 Also just discovered a couple episodes back (because of you and your sister's netflix recs video) that there are ghosts in the background of certain shots and everytime I see one.... CHILLLLLSSSS

[@berenicethegirl]

I really wish we could be friends, I love your enthusiasm (I feel like as people get older their enthusiasm lessens and it saddens me haha but you haven't lost yours) ❤️

[@berenicethegirl]

Also don't put too much pressure on yourself for vlogs. You don't owe us anything xx

[@beautyb4876]

just got the nesting on my kindle you convinced me

[@ThorWantsAnotherLetter]

If you save Night of the Mannequins until the last day of October and the very beginning of November, you have a book down and finished for IndigAThon! :) Myself and Brody (et tu brody) are co-hosts and I know you like thrillers, and there's some other great Indigenous thrillers out there! Plus, you have Winter Counts and that counts for a lot of prompts! :D

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Our Kind of Cruelty seems very interesting o.O

[@tinaconn3989]

I really enjoyed Our Kind Of Cruelty. I only ever hear of people hating it & I do understand why it might grate on some people. I read the arc of this in February 2018 and I can still remember everything that happened. I thought it was a bit different to your normal run of the mill psychological thriller.

[@heatherwhitehead701]

I would recommend The Ballad of Black Tom if you're looking for short reads! It's very good

[@hazywonderland159]

@gabbyreads I just finished No Bad Deed by Heather Chavez, soooo good you HAVE to pick it up the entire book was amazing and kept me hooked till the very end

[@scalex19]

Added the Nesting! :) Have you read KIN by Kealan Patrick Burke? I'm interested in reading it!

[@TheSweetieDarling]

I think you should fill your water bottle with the arbor mist 😂

[@gabbyreads]

That’s a great idea 🤣🤣🤣

[@sharath_95]

Gabby is the bestest❤️❤️❤️ of All booktubers.

[@TheTeddybear1992]

I'm in Michigan, and we've had 33°nights/mornings and 44°ish degrees lately, in October, I feel ya

[@katrinabrown]

You sold me when you said The Nesting was like Bly Manor 😍😍😍

[@LunahsLibrary]

Literally, same. She said that and I immediately went online to purchase it 🤣

[@katrinabrown]

@@LunahsLibrary could not help myself! 🙈😍

[@user-ov8uq5gj9v]

Love your reading vlogs!

[@MerjemBejtić]

omg yes this is what i needed right now!!

[@TheSweetieDarling]

This has been a super weird month. Our kind of cruelty sounds like I need to spend some more money. Love this vlog!

[@maxsam1537]

Hi Gabby, I’ve just read “The invisible Life of Addie LaRue”...... I know it was on your reading list, so if you haven’t had chance to read it yet..... It is so totally amazingly, amazing... I think you will love it !!

[@louisellefortier3555]

I just read it also and I gave it a 4*. Liked it also.

[@meghannpalmer7417]

I wore myself out with horror/thriller lol. So I’ve started nonfiction November as well as The Song of Achilles

[@Terminate1101]

Gabby: 34 degrees My Australian self: dang that’s hot Also me: oh wait.

[@stephaniec.3928]

Now I think I’m going to check out The Nesting

[@cindyrosegan7188]

Finally...my gabby dose 🥰

[@crushgoil]

If you hadn’t put in the intro I wouldn’t have thought anything was weird or “lower quality” about this vlog. I enjoyed watching it. Oh my goodness Tank in his vest is the cutest thing.

[@lovelight6973]

Great vlog!

[@meghannpalmer7417]

Hahaha love that Frenchie

[@WeathersWorldOfBooks]

I thought of you when the Dodgers won last night! Great vlog as always 🖤🖤

[@gloriaterry333]

That Arbor Mist is yummy, I buy those.

[@ashleighmikaelson507]

Loveeeeee Youuuuu Gabby!!!!!

[@jackiereadsandwrites]

The Arbor Mist Peach Moscato is sooooo good, but don't buy their Raspberry flavor! It tastes like cough syrup lol

[@danyahnaumani6176]

whats the song at 12:48 anyoneeee

[@gabbyreads]

West Coast by Phillip Larue (my current obsession hahaha) 🤩

[@luca.desu.2590]

Since you're getting into creepy podcasts lately, you might like the black tapes!

[@luca.desu.2590]

And it takes place in Washington I think!

[@17caria]

I had a friend when I was little who was always called her first and last name at the same time, and the family addressed me the same way. It always threw me off. Now I kind of like the idea, but it's funny that that came up in that book.

[@kvan8046]

Need horror recs thanks gabby

[@beccamiller1078]

You should read Dolores Claiborne! I just read it last weekend in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down!! So fun (ps don’t look up anything about it before reading)

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I tried reading the nesting because I really liked The Turn of the Key but the MC was annoying me so much and I just couldn’t anymore but I might give it a second chance idk

[@nibeditamishra1956]

Our kind of cruelity 3-3.5🌟 Nesting 4.5🌟

[@annabanabanana]

Did you ever read sharp objects by Gillian Flynn. I loved that book so much. Even the HBO series is great.

[@gabbyreads]

Yep! I’ve read the book and seen the show!

[@ady48709]

Right when I was going to start reading and I heard my notification tone went off and well...this seems important lol

[@stephanielemieux5319]

Adulthood!! 😁💧🧴🛏

[@chanelletime]

I loved this video. Violet sounds like it would be interesting but im not sure if im too much of a chicken for it skjdkkdj

[@rezently1x]

You need to watch the turning its the topic of the haunting on bly manor even though it has a bad star pleas watch and read turn of the screws that’s how the turning got its topic

[@PrakashKumar-se2zy]

Heyy Gabby , Just a recommendation , you should definately read a thousand splendid suns by Khaled hosseini , it's a great read ! Please do read it 😊

[@christinelagueux8155]

I am anxious to see if you like Violet because I DNF it and I DNF House of Leaves.

[@emiliejenkins9225]

I MISSED TANK SO MUCH 🥰🥰🥰❄️

[@gloriaterry333]

Help this Pandemic is driving me nuts, I go from reading to cooking to doing painting to reading to painting to cooking. I’m just a hamster, going around and around.

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

I don’t think any thriller can top Gone Girl TBH

[@mattthepageturner9128]

this was posted RIGHT after i started The Nesting wtf

[@gabbyreads]

We’re in SYNC 🤩

[@jinkies1276]

The Nesting was incredibly disappointing for me. (spoilers) Enjoyed it while reading, but it led nowhere and the happy ending spit in the face of the supposed message and values of the book. Tom and Clive just got away with it all? The only people the nokken ever targeted weren't even important to the build (other than arguably Aurelia) which makes the big bad seem incompetent and the message of nature fighting back convoluted. And Lexi defeats it after very little fanfare. Seemed pretty convenient that Lexi just happened to accidentally read the norse story folktale to Gaia that told them how to defeat the nokken like two days before they'd need the info. Also I really don't believe that the true ancient name of the nokken needed to defeat it would be the modern name of the fjord that it resides in. And then Tom just finishes his stupidly ambitious architecture project and we end the book without it being totally clear that he even learned a lesson in fucking with nature or that he's going to be a better dad moving forward. Also wtf was that shit with the body they found that Clive desecrated? I really didn't expect such a big plot point introduced in the last 100 pages and stretched over multiple chapters to lead literally nowhere. Also 'schizophrenic' is not a fucking adjective to describe the weather CJ,, really expected better from a book with such an emphasis on mental health. Most disappointing book I've read in a long time. I'm reading "Build Your House Around my Body" right now and loving it for anyone looking for a good ghost story

[@jinkies1276]

Love the Stephen Graham Jones rec!

[@patriciacannon4242]

Bly Manor is actually based on the novel The Turn of the Screw. It was made into a movie recently The turning with Finn woflhard but it sucked. Netflix did a way better job imo
